Reviews: Auckland: Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with Lunch
Guest User2026-01-09
Everything was magnificent, everyone in the group was very punctual, and the driver was a true expert. Although it's one of the more expensive tours I've paid for in Oceania, it's well worth it. Thank you.★

Reviews: From Auckland, New Zealand: Hobbiton™ Movie Set Tour (with Auckland Hotel Transfers)
Guest User2025-01-08
Hobbiton is a magical experience for fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Nestled in the stunning rolling hills of Matamata, it feels like stepping straight into Middle-earth. The attention to detail is remarkable—every hobbit hole, garden, and prop is immaculately maintained, making the set feel alive and authentic. The guided tour is informative, blending behind-the-scenes stories with insights into how the set was created. The highlight is the Green Dragon Inn, where you can enjoy a refreshing ale or ginger beer brewed exclusively for Hobbiton. The staff are passionate and friendly, adding to the immersive atmosphere. Whether you’re a Tolkien fan or just enjoy unique, picturesque experiences, Hobbiton is worth the visit. It’s a truly enchanting destination that brings the magic of the movies to life!★

Reviews: From: Auckland: Rotorua via Hobbiton Tour One Way Tour
Guest User2026-01-26
We did the one way tour of Hobbiton and were dropped in Rotorua. The driver was safe and fun and has a thing for avacados. If you get Ale, bring him an avacado. Also, brush up on your Rings trivia - there are prizes. Sam was training to be a guide the day we took this tour and i think he will do just fine when he finds a mic that actually works. I tore my knee the morning of this transfer and had to sit out the tour in the wonderful Hobbiton cafe - but my son truly enjoyed it - even tho he got a bit wet because he didn't take his jacket as i suggested. Always listen to your mom. I would recommend this tour/transfer.★
